NEWARK, NJ – As the business world transitions into the second quarter of 2026, Brick City Branding is sounding the alarm for companies still operating with “survivalist” aesthetics from the 2020 era. Today, the agency officially launched its May Refresh Initiative, a strategic design program aimed at modernizing corporate visual identities in time for the high-traffic Q3 sales rush.
According to recent data, 75% of users judge a business’s credibility based solely on its website design. Brick City Branding’s new guide highlights that many existing brands are suffering from “Legacy Design Syndrome”—characterized by muted pandemic-era palettes and non-scalable assets—which actively damages their Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness scores.
“May is the ‘Goldilocks’ month for business strategy,” says the Lead Strategist at Brick City Branding. “It provides the perfect 6–8 week window to overhaul a brand’s ‘skin and wardrobe’ without the cost of a full rebrand, ensuring companies are polished and ready before the July market surge”.
Brick City Branding is currently offering complimentary brand audits throughout the month of May to help businesses identify “2020 symptoms” in their visual identity. To schedule your audit and ensure your brand is ready for the Q3 rush, visit Brick City Branding or contact our design team at Connect@brickcitybranding.com.
